[edit] Biography
[edit] After Break-Up
After the breakup of their former band, My Cousin Ray, Nick, Treebo, and Kerry parted ways to pursue individual interests. But the three men are back together once more. Five demos cut at the bitter end of their former bands existence would soon attract the attention of a small, independent New Jersey label. After some discussion, the three were convinced to begin practicing together once again with the goal of making a 5 song EP for this independent label.
[edit] New Guitarist, Debuting EP
Shortly thereafter the search began for new another guitarist. Based on the recommendation of friends, Tim was soon added to the band in January of 2004. What ensued after his addition was 20 straight days practicing, followed by one hectic week of recording, yielding the band's first five song EP entitled Best Friends Our Worst Enemies. The EP debuted in May 2004, and with the addition of Frank Rosania and the bands second Guitarist the band quickly gained notoriety in NJ. After a multitude of shows, one east coast our, and a number of Midwestern treks, Frank decided to leave Royden to pursue other interests in March 2005.
